Squish's 1st Words

Squishy said "Mama" and "Dada" on request last night. Made my heart melt! Her little voice sounded so sweet, nothing like the growl, grunt and shreik she normally uses to get your attention. It was so sweet and girly! Another very exciting chapter in the chronicles of Abigail Browning.

Abi:
13 months
No idea how much she weighs because I have failed her completely i the healthcare dept.
Still sucks her thumb to sleep
Naps twice a day
Sleeps all night
Crawls up, but not down yet

Billy:
Back to napping once a day
Binky free since the 4th of July
Obsessed with Buzz and Woody
Still the littlest monkey

Emi:
Wishes she was an academic scholar
Still growing out her bangs
Likes to dress herself these days
Loves being the biggest

Papa's Shop Move

Papa moved into his newest shop this weekend and we all lended our moral and in some cases physical support. The Walkers, Pezzelle's and Deatsch's. He was moving from Mesa (McKellips & 202) to 35th Ave & Indian School. Billy had an absolute blast. There was (in order of importance) sawdust, trains, snacks, wheely carts & dirt. Boy heaven! It was also Abi's first trip to Papa's shop. She was not as impressed. I remember Emi's 1st trip to Papa's shop...We were helping him make our dining table in December of 2003. She was a good sport as long as she was the center of attention, Papa didn't look at her and there were no loud noises. Abi's reaction was pretty similar, not quite as dramatic, but similar none the less. She just didn't have any of the above mentioned treasures to keep her busy like Billy did. She did have a great time dancing to Quiet Riot's Come on Feel the Noise. There was some shaking, lassos and her first flashing. Everyone thought it was pretty funny. I also noticed she is getting some more teeth. Her I teeth on top, weird huh? She might look kinda funny with the 2 bottom center teeth and fangs up top!
Billy brought along his little CAT front loader and he was perfectly happy to lay on his tummy amidst all the sawdust driving his tractor. Classic Billy. He also went bizzerk for the trains that run across the street from Dad's new place. They blow the horn right as they're passing Indian School so as you hear the horn everyone has to drop what they are doing and run to the driveway to watch the trains go by. He loves trains, I love that.

Squishy's 1st Pizza - 8 months

So this is to commerate all of my sweet baby girl's accomplishments. Something I've been meaning to do for too long now and sadly something I've resorted to doing online. Perhaps one day she will think of me as innovative as opposed to lazy!

I'll start with the most current and work my way backward to play catch up.

March - 8 Months: This month you have become so aware of your big brother & sister, you laugh at everything they do. You have also become socially vocal. You babble and talk up a storm when your not sleeping in the car. I actually think you might be singing along with all the rest of us! "The wheels on the bus go round and round...." You also had people food aka pizza crust for the first time. You loved it. You love to eat period. Always have! That's why we call you squishy! You went to visit Aunt Louise in Bakersfield for the first time. We had a family roadtrip with all of us in a rented minivan & your cousins Max, Zoe & Law with Mike & Megan in another. We were only there for a few days, but it was surprisingly easy.

You still eat mostly formula and a little babyfood.

You nap 2-3 times a day and for the most part sleep thru the night till about 7am.

You have 2 teeth & lots of hair.
